Had so much fun learning Bhangra, Gurdeep had everyone smiling and laughing the whole time!

[Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon @GurdeepPandher]

Good morning with this photo showing smiling faces of Kenora residents and myself. I am honoured that so many locals attended my Bhangra workshop and talk on joy, hope, and positivity last night by the beautiful waters of Lake of the Woods 🙏🏽🧡💦

Retweet this if you think the Ontario government should immediately reverse their cuts to healthcare for uninsured people. #Healthcare4All

@Audrey_Giles The neck pillow 🥺🥺

[Deb Lefebvre @DebraLefebvre]

90% of nurses are female. Bill124 is #wageoppression aimed mainly at women. It does not apply to police or firefighters, male dominated professions. #Bill124 is misogynistic, disrespectful, shameful policy @fordnation. #RepealBill124 #onpoli #onhealth #nursingshortage

James Smith Cree Nation Urges the Public not to Contribute to Any New GoFundMe Page.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

If the goal is to stay open, why doesn't the Ontario government add this to their 'Plan to Stay Open'?

Give nurses the proper wages, permanent jobs and benefits they deserve. Move to finally #RepealBill124. Implement 10 permanent #paidsickdays.

That's how we stay open.

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

Please be reminded that the Ontario government's refusal to #RepealBill124 and legislate TEN permanent #PaidSickDays is contributing to the burn out of healthworkers and thus, the collapse of Ontario's health system. Don't let anyone tell you they've "done quite a lot already".

Pre-COVID: agencies charged ~$65/h to supply ICU RNs

Since COVID: agencies charge up to $110/h

Privatization diverts public $ to private companies who can take advantage of the situation hospitals face.

Shore up public healthcare instead of letting privatization undercut it.

Suggestions re: how to address the nursing staffing crisis in Ontario.

[Jennifer Cano @jenncano1]

Our med/surg unit is 100% staffed by agency nurses tonight. No permanent staff. How did we get to this point? #RepealBill124 #NursingShortage

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Impact of COVID and underpaying RNs (& RPNs):
Shortage of Full-time staff
Use private agency to fill shifts
Agency RNs now able to get "full-time" hrs
Full-time RNs work alongside agency RNs whose take home pay > theirs
Full-time RNs migrate to agency
Full-time vacancies worsen

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

An Ontario ICU has been forced to close. Emergency Departments are under severe strain. Health workers are facing moral injury.

In case you didn't get the memo, our healthcare system is collapsing.

So...where is the Ontario government?

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Please know that nurses are specialized experts. They cannot be replaced by physicians, or any other health workers. They are the backbone of our entire healthcare system.

Make no mistake: We will never rescue our collapsing healthcare system if we do not truly support nurses.

[Jennifer Cano @jenncano1]

@fordnation @Pontifex Then why did you cancel the curriculum rewrite to boost Indigenous education in Ontario schools?

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

I really wish people cared as much about the long wait times we are seeing in healthcare (e.g. in our Emergency Departments) as they do about the long wait times we are seeing at airports.

[Dr Leslea, Wizard of Os @DrLeslea]

Periodic reminder that a cancer diagnosis for someone living in Kenora means referral to a city 490 km away (TBay) and in some cases 1846 km away (Hamilton).

Winnipeg is 200 km west of Kenora, and still denying care to residents of NWO.

Just thought I’d bring it up. No reason.

[David Fisman @DFisman]

Y'all know an unstaffed bed can't care for you, right?
